@JoJoFromJerz You are are seriously not well and fucked up with TDS

Donald Trump is not well. And there are undoubtedly many, many people in his inner circle who know this to be true. HE knows he’s not well. But they’re all covering it up, lying about it and pretending he’s fine, when they know damn well he’s not.

@JoJoFromJerz You are seriously not well honey. TDS

This is classic pathetic Gary Spedding deflection once again . You keep pretending Palestinian homophobia is mostly Israel’s fault because of “occupation” and blackmail. That’s dishonest. Palestinian society (both Hamas in Gaza and the PA in the West Bank) brutally persecutes gay people — through honour killings, torture, imprisonment, and throwing people off roofs. This existed long before any “occupation” and continues in Area A where Israel has zero control. Israel is the only country in the entire Middle East where gay people can live openly and safely. That’s not “transactional blackmail” — that’s reality. You apply impossible standards to the Jewish state while making endless excuses for medieval Islamist bigotry. It’s not principled human rights work. It’s Israel Derangement Syndrome.

Sorry, but this is a deceptive and manipulative pivot that points to the extremely limited Palestinian 'self-governance' in the tiny enclaves of the West Bank (Area A) without addressing the documented mechanics of the practice or the legal context of Israel's belligerent military occupation. Israel's role as the occupying power, which enables its security services to surveil, pressure, and coerce individuals in those territories, is a massive problem that you just ignore. None of the cases of blackmail against LGBTQ+ Palestinians would be possible without the occupation. Let us be clear here; both Palestinian so-called 'governance' and the Israeli occupation contribute to the dire and abusive situation for gay Palestinians. Ignoring the latter to focus only on the former avoids the point of what I originally sais. If you were even remotely honest or genuine in your claim to support LGBTQ safety, then you would acknowledge that neither side's record is defensible here—Palestinian authorities persecute openly, while Israel exploits that persecution covertly while offering limited (transactional/qualified) sanctuary and then threatening the others. It is obvious, and I also know for a fact, that you do not speak to any actual LGBTQ+ palestinians while you're living it up there in Tel Aviv... If you did then you'd be aware of the gay communities in Bethlehem, Ramallah, Jericho, Nablus etc.

In honor of Pride month, here’s a list of countries in the Middle East that recognize same sex marriage: 1. Israel

@GarySpedding @JustLuai Oh god. You don’t believe Palestinians’ lgbt rights are similar to those of Jordanians, Iraqis, Algerians, Pakistanis because of Israel’s full control of Area C of the WB. You don’t.

This is classic Gary Spedding. You only discover “human rights” when Israel is involved. You stay strangely silent on Hamas throwing gays off rooftops, the PA paying terrorists to murder Jews, Iran executing protesters and funding jihad, and actual genocides happening in Syria, Yemen and Sudan. This isn’t principled human rights analysis. It’s Israel Derangement Syndrome dressed up in faux-intellectual dishonest hypocritical analysis language. You apply impossible standards to the one Jewish state and its so called occupation when Jordan has a chance to provide Arabs of Levantine an additional state ( oh Jordan ) while ignoring the taking of Tibet and others and giving a free pass to far worse Islamists actors. It’s not clever. It’s just selective outrage.

@JustLuai Same-sex marriage isn't the bench mark you think it is... what is far more crucial is the safety, well-being, recognition towards, and upholding of fundamental basic rights for LGBTQ+ people. Israel exploring & blackmailing gay Palestinians isn't very LGBTQ+ friendly just FYI.

This is pathetic bad-faith nonsense ( Farooq lol) . Israel is the only country in the entire Middle East that recognizes same-sex marriages performed abroad and grants gay couples full legal rights, benefits, and protections. No other country in the region does this. Most execute gays, throw them off buildings, or imprison them. Hamas and Palestinian society are brutally homophobic. You’re not making a serious point — you’re just using semantic games (“they don’t perform them”) and the tired “pinkwashing” smear to attack the one liberal democracy in the region while ignoring the actual persecution of LGBT people everywhere else. Classic anti-Israel derangement.

@JustLuai Israel quite literally doesn't perform them Nobody believes cherry-picked Hasbara lol
